2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · YS05 VWR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 24,362 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. The trend suggests a reactive maintenance approach, as the car has maintained a clean record since resolving the tyre failures in mid-2024. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,160 miles per year. Between June 2022 and July 2024, the car covered 5,327 miles, followed by another 3,983 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases risks regarding degradation of rubber-based components and brake systems due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the tyres as the failure on 2 July 2024 at 20,376 miles showed all four tyres were at or below the legal limit, with uneven wear on the edges suggesting potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the age and low usage, a physical check is also required for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which often affects older Renault models regardless of mileage. Inspect the brakes for seized calipers or pitted discs, common side effects of vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
